Where each prop firm will accept you
Across 20 large trader markets, Brazil gives you the widest choice with 90 of 90 firms open to you, while Vietnam gives the narrowest with 49. These counts come from the restricted-country list each firm publishes.
Why are some countries blocked? Usually because of sanctions, payment processors' rules or, at CFD firms, platform licences. A typical firm in our data (the median) blocks 25 countries.
Open your country to see the firms that take local traders, the deposit and withdrawal methods that work there, prices in your currency where we hold an ECB reference rate (US dollars otherwise) and the firms you should skip.
